(Artist Bio)
Whimsy and nature are the forces that inspire my work. The artwork I create is influenced by the stories and memories of long lost folktales. I have a passion for unique characters with their own secrets. Since 2016 I have dedicated my time and efforts towards building my art career. I’m excited to show my work here and I would love to hear your opinions.
